The book that was the start of this idea. Riding on the back of the fantasy role playing game craze came these interesting books, and plenty more popped up along with them on other topics, from other publishers. They were designed so that all you would need was a pencil and a simple randomiser and be able to carry the whole thing around with you, and introduce the game and chance into it.
The first of a fantastic series by Jackson & Livingstone!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This is the first book of a great series known as Fighting fantasy. Steve Jackson & Ian Livingstone made a fortune out of this original Idea, and so it is not surprising. It is first class, well produced literature. Continuously entertaining, and thoroughly enjoyable for all ages. It Is a shame to see the series cut its production line, but after writing 59 different books In the series, It's no wonder the craze had to end somewhere. Young males of this era have missed out on good literature.
Unique first-person adventure gamebook
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
The first time I picked this book up, I was only 11. I couldn't believe it. The fact that you could pick a book up and play it like a game just blew my mind. The illustrations were first class and once I'd put it down, I just wanted to pick it up again (and of-course you could because the second time you played it, it would be slightly different depending on where you went within the pages...) I loved it. I still have the original and still read it just for posterity... What a brilliant book!
